A call to Christian pro-life men, women, young adults, and children to a time of repentance, prayer, praise, worship, and declaration of God’s Word as we:


1) Repent and ask the Lord’s forgiveness for America’s corporate bloodguilt. Bloodguilt
is upon all of us, and upon our city, upon our state, upon our nation, and
upon all its inhabitants (Jeremiah 26:15), especially the Church
(Deuteronomy 21:1-9, 2 Chronicles 7:14), which has failed to love her unborn
neighbors as herself, for the well over 300,000 unborn children who have been
murdered by surgical abortion alone on South Carolina soil since the wicked and
unconstitutional Roe v. Wade supreme Court decision in 1973, and probably
several times more that number aborted chemically by birth control that is
abortifacient (including birth control pills). Their shed innocent blood pollutes the
very ground of our city and state and nation (Numbers 35:33), and cries out to
God for divine vengeance and recompensation (Genesis 4:10).

2) Beseech the Lord, to end completely the sin of shedding innocent blood in the city of Columbia
in South Carolina, and in America, not by our might and power, but by His Spirit,
as HE is already doing, having already closed at least four abortion centers in the
Columbia area, six other abortion centers in our state, and over 1,000 abortion
centers in America (http://www.ldi.org/ ). (Psalm 24:7-10; Matthew 16:18; Genesis 22:17)


Location: Columbia, South Carolina

(facing Pendleton St., between Sumter and Assembly Streets)


“If My people, which are called by My Name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”
2 Chronicles 7:14

“So ye shall not pollute the land wherein ye are: for blood it defileth the land: and the land cannot be
cleansed of the blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of him that shed it.”
Numbers 35:33

"Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils,
And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and daughters,… and the land was polluted with blood.
Thus were they defiled with their own works, and went a whoring with their own inventions.
Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against His people, insomuch that He abhorred His own inheritance.
And He gave them into the hand of the heathen; and they that hated them rules over them.
Their enemies also oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their hand.
Many times did He deliver them; but they provoked Him with their counsel, and were brought low for their iniquity.
Nevertheless He regarded their affliction, when He heard their cry:"
Psalm 106:37-44

“... I will build My church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” Matthew 16:18

If child-murder-by-abortion were to end today in America, there would still remain
the need to REPENT for all the innocent blood which has been already shed.

Bloodshed following bloodshed (e.g., gang, domestic, and school violence),
foreign invasion (e.g., 11 to 20 million illegal Mexican and other aliens through
our intentionally undefended southern border), and our nation being turned over
to tyranny, are all scripturally predictable consequences of our ongoing murder
of innocent children in the wombs of their mothers.

IN OTHER WORDS, THE SHEDDING OF INNOCENT BLOOD IS THE CAUSE OF
THE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT INVASION, THE CAUSE OF THE THREAT OF ISLAMO-FASCISM,
AND THE CAUSE OF BEING TURNED OVER TO WICKED, CORRUPT RULERS IN OUR
OWN GOVERNMENT (INCLUDING NAFTA, CAFTA, GATT/WTO, the UN, NAU, NWO, etc.),
AS DIVINE JUDGEMENTS FROM GOD HIMSELF !!!

Read Hosea 4:2; Ezekiel 35:4-6, 2 Kings 24:1-4; and Psalm 106:37-44

But we have blind leaders being followed by a blind people in America, and it is neither
a Church nor Civil Government priority to bring child-murder to an end... when it could
be ended in a week, because Congress has the power to limit the appellate jurisdiction
of the US Supreme Court ! Just listen to the Legislative Priorities of both State and Federal
leaders, both legislative and executive, and you will see there is a normally a total absence
of even any mention of the murder of 3,000 plus pre-birth human beings PER DAY in America.
The level of blindness is astounding. And it's the same in the Church - which is actually more
responsible and culpable than civil government. The Church is both the problem and the answer to ending child-murder in America.

National Right to Life and the Republican Party are wrong. The composition of the
US Supreme Court is not what has to change to end abortion. If the Christians of America
would simply read Article III., Section 2. of their own national covenant, the US Constitution,
perhaps they would understand that Congress and the President have had the power to
end abortion in America in a week's time, for now almost 36 years !

PRINCIPLED PRO-LIFERS WHO WANT TO SEE ABORTION END, NOT JUST BE PERPETUALLY,
INCREMENTALLY REGULATED, SHOULD STOP LISTENING, STOP ATTENDING, AND STOP SUPPORTING NATIONAL RIGHT TO LIFE, IMMEDIATELY. ADVOCATES OF STATE-LEVEL "PERSONHOOD" LEGISLATION (TO VEST LEGAL PERSONHOOD AT FERTILIZATION WITH NO EXCEPTIONS AND THEREBY END ABORTION IN THAT STATE) HAVE BEEN UNSUPPORTED, OR ACTUALLY OPPOSED, BY NATIONAL RIGHT TO LIFE/STATE CHAPTER OPERATIVES AT LEAST IN SOUTH CAROLINA, IN MICHIGAN, AND IN COLORADO; and probably elsewhere as well. If you have information documenting the non-support and/or active opposition of NRL or any of its state chapters of "personhood" legislation in your state, please forward that information and any pertinent internet links to: Columbia Christians for Life

FEDERAL PERSONHOOD AND ARTICLE III. SECTION 2 (US CONSTITUTION) LEGISLATION
TO END ABORTION IN AMERICA:


US House limits jurisdiction of Federal Courts regarding the Pledge of Allegiance
Employs Article III., Section 2. constitutional power of the US Congress to limit
the appellate jurisdiction of the US supreme Court:
This same Article III., Section 2. constitutional power of the US Congress to limit the
appellate jurisdiction of the US supreme Court can be further applied to protect the God-ordained
institution of marriage, to protect state-level laws banning acts of sodomy, to protect federal and
state laws banning abortion, and to protect the freedom of religious expression that is guaranteed
by the First Amendment of the US Constitution, vis-a-vis public displays of the Ten Commandments,
and public prayer in the Name of Jesus.
www.christianlifeandliberty.net/CONSTLAW06-01.DOC

PRESIDENT BUSH and CONGRESS COULD END ABORTION IN AMERICA IN ONE WEEK:
President Bush and the US Congress have the power NOW to end abortion in America in one week:
Pass HR 552, the "Right to Life Act", amended with the addition of the Article III., Section 2. power
of the US Congress in the US Constitution to limit the appellate jurisdiction of the US supreme Court,
and the complete jurisdiction of the lower federal courts (US District Courts and US Circuit Courts of
Appeal, which were created by Congress by federal statute, and could even be eliminated by Congress
by federal statute, let alone have their jurisdictions limited).
[ see HR 552 and HR 776, 109th Congress, at http://thomas.loc.gov/ ]52,
www.christianlifeandliberty.net/CCL05-21.doc


PRESIDENT BUSH and CONGRESS
COULD END ABORTION IN AMERICA IN ONE WEEK
www.christianlifeandliberty.net/CONLAW08.DOC


The Article III., Section 2. legal strategy espoused in the articles above is embodied in HR 2597,
the Sanctity of Life Act of 2007, sponsored by US Congressman Ron Paul (R-Texas).

Congressman Paul's bill would vest "fetal" legal "personhood" at conception ("fertilization" would
be a better, more precise term), and invoke the Article III., Section 2. power of Congress to remove
appellate jurisdiction from the US Supreme Court, meaning they could not overturn it.

I believe that if HR 2597 were passed into law, that it would effectively, eventually, END ABORTION
in America, because of three reasons: 1) the vesting of legal "personhood" by Congress,
2) the principle of the supremacy of federal laws, and 3) the Article III., Section 2.
provision that would remove the bill from the US Supreme Court's appellate jurisdiction, and
thereby preventing them from even reviewing it (hearing a case on it), much less overturning it.

HR 300

The Article III., Section 2. legal strategy espoused in the article above is also embodied in HR 300,
the We the People Act of 2007, sponsored by US Congressman Ron Paul (R-Texas).

Congressman Paul's bill would return to the States their Sovereign Rights to:

- Acknowledge God
(issues related to prayer in Jesus' Name, and posting of the Ten Commandments),

- Ban Child-Murder-By-Abortion

- Ban Sodomy (not just ban sodomite couplings, "marriage," and "civil unions")


See these bills at http://thomas.loc.gov/ - check the list of co-sponsors. See if your US House member has been a co-sponsor of HR 2597, HR 618, and HR 300. See if your US Senators have been co-sponsors of S 3111 (Republican presidential nominee, "Pro-Life" fraud John McCain is NOT a co-sponsor; McCain was endorsed by National Right to Life).


START SUPPORTING PRINCIPLED PRO-LIFE EFFORTS TO ESTABLISH JUSTICE FOR THE PRE-BORN, AND END ABORTION IN THE STATES AND IN AMERICA. STOP SUPPORTING "PRO-LIFE" FRAUDS LIKE NATIONAL RIGHT TO LIFE, AND ESTABLISHMENT REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES, AND START LISTENING TO THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN BATTLING FOR YEARS AT THE STATE AND FEDERAL LEVELS TO ESTABLISH "PERSONHOOD" FOR THE UNBORN, AND END AMERICA'S ABORTION HOLOCAUST !!!

In Colorado, Voters Will Decide Whether Human Embryos Are People Under State's Constitution

http://news.yahoo.com/s/usnews/20081030/ts_usnews/incoloradovoterswilldecidewhetherhumanembryosarepeopleunderstatesconstitution;_ylt=AtpfJP18qwFnTzIc5FZHVv1h24cA

In the battleground state of Colorado on November 4, along with casting a vote for Barack Obama or John McCain, voters will be considering whether or not to make Colorado the first state to give constitutional rights to human embryos.

The proposed Amendment 48 would change Colorado's Constitution to define the term "person" as "any human being from the moment of fertilization." That means fertilized eggs and fetuses would have all the rights of individuals under Colorado law, down to the right to due process.

Supporters say it protects the value of life and clarifies "personhood" in light of scientific findings on how humans develop in the womb. They also argue that it won't automatically overturn access to contraception, abortion, or medical research involving embryos, since courts still will have to interpret laws on a case-by-case basis.

But opponents say the amendment could have wide-ranging consequences. The amendment could allow abortion, and even contraception, to be interpreted as murder, without exception for victims of rape or incest. In vitro fertilization could be banned, since the eggs used in the process would be protected; so could stem cell research. Meanwhile, more than 20,000 references to "persons" exist in state statutes, regulations, and city ordinances, meaning that the ban could have unintended effects, one reason the Colorado Bar Association has opposed it.

"It is a blatant attempt to interfere into personal, private, family health decisions," says Fofi Mendez, campaign manager for Vote NO on 48.

The views of Mendez and other opponents of the ban, including self-described "pro-life" Gov. Bill Ritter, seem to have struck a chord with Coloradans. Even though supporters originally gathered more than 130,000 signatures to get the measure on the ballot, support seems to have tumbled. A recent Rocky Mountain News/CBS4 News poll showed that more than two thirds of Colorado voters oppose the bill, compared with 27 percent in favor. That's despite another poll showing that 44 percent of voters in the state say life begins at conception.

Even if the measure fails, though, some say it points to a rising politicization of contraception. Mississippi, Georgia, Michigan, Oregon, and Montana have attempted to get similar measures passed, Mendez says.

Contraception also has become an issue in nine races in this election, according to Cristina Page of the advocacy site BirthControlWatch.org, including congressional campaigns in New Jersey, Ohio, New Hampshire, Washington, Virginia, and Colorado as well as a gubernatorial race in Washington.

"This is a trend we're going to see--birth control becoming a campaign issue--grow," says Page.

THE STATE OF COLORADO IS ACTUALLY VOTING FOR A PERSONHOOD AMENDMENT TO THE COLORADO STATE CONSTITUTION ON NOV. 4, 2008 !VOTE "YES" FOR AMENDMENT 48 !
www.ColoradoForEqualRights.com/
To see that the Colorado state constitution is amended to include pre-born from the moment of fertilization as having their "personhood" clearly established, so that they may enjoy equal protection under the law.
The term "Person" or "Persons" shall include any human from the time of fertilization.

_________________________________________________________________

From the very text of the Roe v. Wade decision - if "personhood" for the fetus is established (with no "exceptions") then the legal argument for abortion "collapses":

Right to Life Act of SC - news conference and "Jesus Christ is Lord of the Gates" pro-life rally - Jan. 17, 2006
www.christianlifeandliberty.net/H3213-S111-1032.doc

In the very text of the Roe v. Wade US supreme Court decision it states, “[Texas] argue[s] that the fetus is a “person” within the language and meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment… If this suggestion of personhood is established, the [pro-abortion] case, of course, collapses, for the fetus’ right to life would then be guaranteed specifically by the [14th] Amendment.” In other words, there never would have been legalized abortion under Roe v. Wade. But tragically, Texas had an “exception” which undermined their entire “personhood” argument. Justice Harry Blackmun wrote: “[ Footnote 54 ] When Texas urges that a fetus is entitled to Fourteenth Amendment protection as a person, it faces a dilemma. Neither in Texas nor in any other State are all abortions prohibited. Despite broad proscription, an exception always exists… But if the fetus is a person who is not to be deprived of life without due process of law, and if the mother's condition is the sole determinant, does not the Texas exception appear to be out of line with the Amendment's command? ...”

Roe v. Wade
http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/scripts/getcase.pl?court=us&vol=410&invol=113

The Right to Life Act of SC, in statutorily vesting legal “personhood” at fertilization for ALL human beings, satisifies the Roe formula published 35 years ago. The issue of legal “Personhood” for ALL human beings, without exception, is a key to unlocking the 35 year old Roe v. Wade abortion enigma.

( Posted on "RTL Act of SC" page at: www.ChristianLifeandLiberty.net )

Good morning, I am Steve Lefemine, director of Columbia Christians for Life. In 1998, 10 years ago, the Right to Life Act of SC was first filed in the SC Legislature, which if passed, would end abortion in our state. However, in 2008, after 10 years, the Republican SC Legislature continues to fail to ESTABLISH JUSTICE to Protect the Lives of Over 7,000 Pre-Birth Children Murdered Each Year in SC by Surgical Abortion.

The Right to Life Act of SC "Personhood" Bill was first introduced in the SC House in Feb 1998 ( www.scstatehouse.net/sess112_1997-1998/bills/4558.htm ), and was also first introduced in the SC Senate in Feb 1998 ( www.scstatehouse.net/sess112_1997-1998/bills/1060.htm ).

The first public hearing was in 2001, when it failed at the House Subcommittee level. The next hearing was in 2004, when it passed the House Subcommittee, but then failed at the full House Judiciary Committee.

Legal Opinion (2005) of South Carolina Attorney General on the Right to Life Act of SC
"Accordingly, it is our opinion that the Right to Life Act is constitutional."
www.christianlifeandliberty.net/Westlaw_Document_15_03_35_5392471.doc

In April 2005, the bill (H.3213) passed the full SC House on Second Reading ( 95Y-18N ) for the first time on April 13, 2005 ( www.scstatehouse.net/sess116_2005-2006/hj05/20050413.htm ), albeit with a fatal flaw amendment to the bill, that established an "exception" to personhood, by allowing the use of an abortifacient (abortion-causing) pill in cases of rape. The bill passed on Third Reading ( 91Y-10N ) on April 14, 2005( www.scstatehouse.net/sess116_2005-2006/hj05/20050414.htm ). Any "exceptions" to legal "personhood" fatally undermine the legal concept of "personhood" as contained in the SC Constitution, and in the US Constitution, in the 5th and 14th Amendments. The bill (H.3213/S.111) was given two hearings in a Senate Judiciary Subcommittee in May 2005 (for the first time on the SC Senate side), but no action was taken. No hearings or further action took place in the 2006 Session. The bill died in this Senate Judiciary Subcommittee after the two public hearings with no vote.

From the very text of the Roe v. Wade decision - if "personhood" for the fetus is established (with no "exceptions") then the legal argument for abortion "collapses":

Right to Life Act of SC - news conference and "Jesus Christ is Lord of the Gates" pro-life rally - Jan. 17, 2006
www.christianlifeandliberty.net/H3213-S111-1032.doc
In the very text of the Roe v. Wade US supreme Court decision it states, “[Texas] argue[s] that the fetus is a “person” within the language and meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment… If this suggestion of personhood is established, the [pro-abortion] case, of course, collapses, for the fetus’ right to life would then be guaranteed specifically by the [14th] Amendment.” In other words, there never would have been legalized abortion under Roe v. Wade. But tragically, Texas had an “exception” which undermined their entire “personhood” argument. Justice Harry Blackmun wrote: “[Footnote 54 ] When Texas urges that a fetus is entitled to Fourteenth Amendment protection as a person, it faces a dilemma. Neither in Texas nor in any other State are all abortions prohibited. Despite broad proscription, an exception always exists… But if the fetus is a person who is not to be deprived of life without due process of law, and if the mother's condition is the sole determinant, does not the Texas exception appear to be out of line with the Amendment's command? ...”

Roe v. Wade
http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/scripts/getcase.pl?court=us&vol=410&invol=113


The Right to Life Act of SC, in statutorily vesting legal “personhood” at fertilization for ALL human beings, satisifies the Roe formula published 35 years ago. The issue of legal “Personhood” for ALL human beings, without exception, is a key to unlocking the 35 year old Roe v. Wade abortion enigma.

AMERICA - A NATION UNDER DIVINE JUDGMENT.

Psalm 33:12; Proverb 14:34; Psalm 9:17; 2 Kings 24:1-4; Jeremiah 19:3-5; Psalm 106:37-42

Foreign invasion (10-20 Million Illegal Aliens) and War (Iraq) are divine consequences upon a nation, any nation, for the shedding of innocent blood (e.g., 2 Kings 24:1-4)...

George Mason, Virginia delegate to the Constitutional Convention, 1787:

"Every master of slaves is born a petty tyrant. They bring the judgment of heaven upon a country. As nations cannot be rewarded or punished in the next world, they must be in this. By an inevitable chain of causes and effects, Providence punishes nation sins, by national calamites."

America lost over 600,000 American lives in the War Between Americans (1861-1865) as a result of God's divine judgment UPON BOTH NORTH AND SOUTH for the national sin of America's institutionalized chattel slavery system.

Will America have to lose 600,000 (or proportionally more) lives to war or terrorist attack before our eyes are opened to seeing the connection between national sin and national calamity ???

Just as God is already bringing incrementally greater divine judgment (e.g., 9-11, War in Iraq, ongoing Foreign Invasion by 12-20 Million Illegal Aliens, USA Financial Crisis, etc., etc., etc.) upon America for our federal, state, and local government-protected, institutionalized system of child-murder-by-abortion in our approx. 750 abortion centers, and hospitals, and doctors offices, today... www.lifedynamics.com/DeathCamps/DeathCamps.cfm

Abortion is a national sin. 9-11 was a national calamity.

3,000 innocent people were killed on 9-11-001; 3,000 innocents are killed DAILY in America's 700+ abortion death camps - just a "coincidence" ? Or is God perhaps trying to get our attention so we will "Connect The Dots" !!?

What about the War of Terror being waged by abortion domestic terrorists against children in the womb in America !!?

God's 9-11 Message to America - Repent !

9 - 11 – WILL WE CONNECT THE DOTS?


www.operationsaveamerica.org/articles/articles/wtc-anniversary.htm


“He that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy."
Proverb 29:1, KJB

More and greater divine judgment is coming upon America for the national sin of child-murder-by-abortion (3,000 slaughtered unborn children PER DAY by surgical abortion alone) unless America repents of the shedding of innocent blood (STARTING with us Christians, for sins of committing abortions (including chemical abortions from birth control pills), and for sins of omitting to love our unborn neighbors enough to labor diligently to STOP abortions.) If you think that 9-11 is the most severe attack upon America that God will allow/cause, then you do not know history, the Bible, or God Himself, as He is truly revealed in the Word of God (all 66 books of the Bible !).
America will not survive as we presently know it . America will be destroyed, if we do not repent, of the national sin of child-murder-by-abortion, beginning with the Church. When the Christian church truly repents in America, one of the signs of that repentance will be an increased presence of born-again Christians, on-site, outside America's 700+ abortion death camps, crying out to God to stop the slaughter !

"If My people [Christians], which are called by My Name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek My Face, and turn from their wicked ways [sins of commission and omission]; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land [America, or any nation]."

Proposed Personhood Legislation in the 110th U.S. Congress

Comments on H.R.618 (Right to Life Act) and S.3111 (Life at Conception Act):
(see text of bills at http://thomas.loc.gov/)

BOTH H.R.618 (US House) and S.3111 (US Senate) are excellent "Personhood" bills and should be passed immediately by Congress and signed by the President - either of these bills would END abortion in America according to the plain text of the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision which said:

"If this suggestion of personhood is established, the appellant's case [i.e., the pro-abortion legal argument], of course, collapses, for the fetus' right to life is then guaranteed by the [14th]Amendment."

[Note: the 5th Amendment (US Const.) is preferred to the problematic 14th]

H.R. 618 was re-introduced by Congressman Duncan Hunter (R-CA) on January 22, 2007. He has introduced this bill again and again, year after year, for now 12 YEARS, since 1997.

105th Congress (1997-1998) - HR 641, "Right to Life Act of 1997"
Introduced Feb. 6, 1997 by Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-CA); 43 co-sponsors

In 2006, when the Republicans were still in the majority in the US House (as they had been continuously since Jan 1995), there were over 100 co-sponsors of H.R. 552 (109th Congress, 2005-2006) and the Republican leadership "pro-life" frauds never even had as much as a SUB-committee public hearing, in 10 years. Despite Republican majorities in the US House for 12 years (1995-2006), the bill has NEVER had even a subcommittee public hearing.

For further information, see:

NO PUBLIC HEARING FOR RIGHT TO LIFE ACT, EVEN AFTER 12 STRAIGHT YEARS OF REPUBLICAN CONTROL !!!
http://www.christianlifeandliberty.net/HR552-05.doc


S.3111, a companion bill in the US Senate to H.R. 618, was introduced for the first time by Senator Roger Wicker (MS-R), just recently on June 11, 2008.

ABORTION COULD HAVE BEEN ENDED IN JANUARY 1973 IF CONGRESS AND THE PRESIDENT HAD SIMPLY PASSED PERSONHOOD LEGISLATION, VESTING LEGAL PERSONHOOD AT FERTILIZATION WITH NO EXCEPTIONS.


There are presently a total of 112 sponsors of H.R.618 in the US House, and 13 sponsors of S.3111 in the US Senate. On Election Day, November 4, 2008, no American voter who considers themselves "pro-life" should cast a vote for ANY INCUMBENT who is not a co-sponsor of H.R.618 (for US Congressmen) or S.3111 (for US Senators). Yes, this IS a "litmus test" !

Lastly, H.R.618 is entitles the "Right to Life Act," while S.3111 is entitles the "Life at Conception Act." The former is a better title than the latter. The issue is not LIFE beginning at conception (sadly, in our perverted legal system that is not enough). The issue is the RIGHT to life, by establishing (under our current system) legal PERSONHOOD at fertilization (a better term that "conception" because the pro-aborts/Planned Parenthood, et al, try to re-define "conception" as implantation).

Please consider sponsorship of H.R.618 and S.3111 as a minimum standard for ANYONE, including presidential candidates (including pro-abort Republican presumptive nominee, CFR-member John McCain) who wishes to describe themselves as "pro-life," as we are now about four months from Election Day, November 4, 2008.

Life at Conception Act - an overview

http://www.prolifealliance.com/LCA%20Fact%20Sheet.pdf


Provides Basis for Protection of All Unborn by Legislatively Establishing Personhood.

A Life at Conception Act - as introduced by Congressman Duncan Hunter (H.R. 618) - is legislation that, quite simply, would declare the unborn to be “persons” under the 14th Amendment to the Constitution, and therefore entitled to the right to life guaranteed therein. The 14th Amendment states:

“No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”

Uses Rather than Amends the Constitution Since Congress May Define Personhood.

Section 5, 14th Amendment - “Congress shall have the power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.”

In the past, corporations have been found to be “persons” under the 14th Amendment and the Supreme Court has upheld this notion providing a clear precedent for legislatively defining who or what is in fact a “person” under the Amendment. Certainly a human being yet to be born -- possessing its own unique set of human DNA -- is more worthy of the term “person” than a

“The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.”

Roe v. Wade would be Effectively Reversed.

Abortion Never Declared Absolute Right - Abortion has never been declared by the Court to be an absolute constitutional right. In fact, when writing the majority opinion in Roe v. Wade, Justice Harry Blackmun wrote:

"We need not resolve the difficult question of when life begins . . . the judiciary at this point in the development of man's knowledge, is not in a position to speculate as to the answer."

The Court then admitted:

"If this suggestion of personhood is established, the appellant's case [i.e. "Roe" who sought the abortion], of course, collapses, for the fetus' right to life is then guaranteed by the [14th] Amendment."

A Life at Conception Act, by establishing personhood for the unborn, would do just that.

Technological Advances Settle Question of When Life Begins - Abortion was legalized more than thirty years ago. Since 1973 there have been major breakthroughs in medical technology. We can now detect a fetal heartbeat only 5 weeks after conception and fetal brain waves can be measured at just 8 weeks. Ultrasound allows us to see a baby as he moves, sleeps and sucks his thumb in the womb. Today human DNA is used as irrefutable proof of a criminal suspect’s guilt or innocence. The fact that each of us possesses a full and unique set of human DNA from the moment of conception is irrefutable proof that we are members of the human race or “persons.”

Most Americans Agree that Life Begins at Conception.

Recent polls have demonstrated that a clear majority of Americans believe that life begins at the moment of conception. One such poll, conducted by Newsweek and published as a cover story, showed that 58% believe that at the moment an egg is fertilized a new human life begins.

A Constitutional Amendment is Not Necessary in Dealing with Roe v. Wade.

The Constitution guarantees the right to life (14th Amendment); it just needs to be enforced.

An amendment to the Constitution requires a two-thirds majority vote in both houses of Congress and must be ratified by 38 states. Since a Life at Conception Act uses existing language in the 14th Amendment to protect the unborn, it requires only a simple majority vote in both Houses and the President’s signature for passage.

The Life at Conception Act Ends Experimentation on Humans Without Prohibiting Effective Stem Cell Research.

This legislation protects human life from the moment of conception. Since adult stem cells are not and cannot become a human life, this bill will have no affect on adult stem cell research, which has been successfully used for many years in the treatment of a variety of diseases.

However, it would prohibit experiments on baby embryos where the human life is intentionally created and destroyed. Such experiments on human babies have been unproven and unpredictable.

The Life at Conception Act would be Enforced Through Elected Legislatures, NOT the Hostile Federal Court System.

By legislatively defining life as beginning at the moment of conception, the Life at Conception Act provides all human life with the protection of the 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution, which protects “life, liberty and property.”

In that way, this legislation will remove all obstacles in which unelected judges, by judicial edict, prevent the people and their elected officials from enacting any protection of human life.

With judicial obstacles gone, Congress and state legislatures can then craft language with the specific protections and penalties.

A Life at Conception Act is Consistent with Supreme Court Precedent.

Since the Life at Conception Act must pass by majority vote in both Houses of Congress, and be signed into law by the President, the measure will go to the Court with considerable backing in the likely event it is challenged.

Furthermore, if the court attempted to backpedal on its language in Roe v. Wade permitting this legislation, Congress could use its power under Article 3, Section 2 of the Constitution to change the jurisdiction of federal courts and eliminate their jurisdiction over abortion.

This kind of legislation has been used by Congress before to reign in the Courts on other themes (see Norris LaGuardia Act). At that time, judges would know that being “fired” from jurisdiction over abortion would be a real threat to their power since it would require the same majority as the Life at Conception Act.

The threat of limiting jurisdiction is a check and balance written by our founding fathers that would be very persuasive in deterring judges from setting themselves up as absolute dictators.

A Life at Conception Act is the Best Vehicle for Making Progress in Defense of the Sanctity of Life.

The bill will be considered by the Subcommittee on the Constitution in the House and by the Judiciary Committee in the Senate. To get action on the bill, it is essential to recruit a large number of cosponsors.

Through its nationwide Federal Pro-Life Candidate Survey Program and member communications, the National Pro-Life Alliance is stressing that cosponsoring the Life at Conception Act is the true measure of an elected official’s commitment to the pro-life cause.

Of course, the House and Senate have recently overwhelmingly passed measures like the Partial- Birth Abortion Ban and the Unborn Victims of Violence Act. So the political climate is favorable to the question of defining personhood, which is what the Life at Conception Act does.

Win or lose, a mere vote on this issue will give pro-life activists a reason to mobilize for those candidates who truly support the sanctity of life.

Montana Personhood Amendment stirring controversy in MT

CI-100 stirring controversy in MT

[emphasis added]
Posted: June 3, 2008 11:33 AM EDT
Updated: June 4, 2008 12:15 PM EDT


State Representative Rick Jore of Ronan



Voters on Tuesday will be facing a number of ballot issues when they head to the polls and may be approached by two groups about one particular ballot issue.

While it's not unusual to be asked to sign petitions for ballot initiatives on primary election day, it is not normal to have people outside your polling place telling you not to sign something.

The measure in question is Constitutional Initiative 100 (CI-100), which is the Montana Personhood Amendment, which would change the constitution to provide full legal rights for all human life beginning at conception.

State Representative Rick Jore of Ronan tried to do the same thing in the 2007 legislature, but his bill failed. So now, Jore has organized a campaign to change the constitution through a citizen initiative.

He and his supporters have until June 20th to collect more than 44,000 signatures. But, that effort has led to active opposition from abortion rights organizations and others who don't want the measure to make the ballot.

"We're hoping our efforts at least are geared toward getting volunteers to the polling places in as many places as we can" explains Jore. "We've got some very dedicated and passionate volunteers that I personally am very proud of."

"We actually think there is an opportunity to keep this from qualifying for the ballot. And we do have volunteers who are trained to be out and talking pro-actively to people about CI-100. And we hope people will decline to sign the petition" says Allyson Hagen with NARAL-Pro Choice Montana.

Unborn Personhood on Colorado Ballot

American RTL Elated at Historic Development

www.covenantnews.com/newswire/archives/042573.html
[emphasis added]

May 30, 2008

DENVER, May 30, 2008/Covenant News Wire Service/"For the first time in forty years of 'legalized' child killing, pro-lifers have moved an entire state to consider the God-given right to life of the unborn," said Brian Rohrbough, president of American RTL. "We thank sponsor Kristi Burton of Colorado for Equal Rights, the 500 participating churches, and Colorado RTL for getting personhood on the November ballot."

The Colorado Secretary of State's office validated 103,000 signatures on human life petitions, 27,000 more than required to force a statewide vote. If passed, the Colorado constitution would define 'person' as "any human being from the moment of fertilization."

"Abortion is wrong because it's a baby; it's always wrong to intentionally kill a baby," said Rohrbough, "even when its father is a criminal, as with incest."

American RTL has launched its Colorado personhood campaign with a rebuttal to the so-called 'hard cases' of abortion for incest.

"The abortion clinic covers up the crime of incest, and typically sends the victim back home to her rapist," the group's website states. "Even worse, they often send her home with her rapist, the criminal who brought her to the clinic."

"There are no 'hard cases'," said Steve Curtis, the group's vice president and former chair of the Colorado Republican Party. "Abortion for incest emboldens a criminal to rape his young relative, helps him escape being caught, tempts him to repeat his crime, and is not compassionate because it kills a baby and increases the woman's suffering." Rohrbough added, "Personhood for the unborn helps people understand there are no hard cases when deciding to protect a baby; you don't kill the baby because her father is a criminal."

"Abortion clinics nationwide refuse to comply with mandatory reporting laws for suspected child rape," said Jo Scott, director of Pro-Life Colorado. "We brought audio taped evidence provided by Life Dynamics of that failure to the Colorado attorney general's office, and they choose to look the other way; personhood for the unborn will reduce crimes against women and children."

"American RTL applauds the dozens of Colorado politicians and candidates who have publicly endorsed the personhood amendment," says AmericanRTL.org, "and urges all Christians, pro-life leaders and organizations to support personhood as the only foundation on which to reverse the de-criminalization of killing unborn children."

DENVER, May 29, 2008 / Covenant News Wire Service / For the first time in US history, the issue of personhood will be decided in the public forum by a constitutional amendment.

Colorado for Equal Rights was notified today by the Colorado Secretary of State's Office that enough valid signatures were submitted to put the Every Human is a Person amendment on the November 2008 ballot. The Secretary of State's Office's random sampling indicated that there were 103,377 valid signatures, surpassing the 76,047 valid signatures that were required.

"The people of Colorado have spoken, the Secretary of State's Office has certified our signatures, and our equal rights amendment will be on November's ballot," stated Kristi Burton, initiative sponsor. "All humans should be protected by love and by law, and this amendment is a historic effort to ensure equal rights for every person."

Colorado for Equal Rights has demonstrated an unparalleled grassroots effort thus far, with likely more volunteer circulators than any other ballot initiative in the State's history. The grassroots initiative had over 1,300 volunteer petition circulators.

"We at Colorado for Equal Rights are incredibly thankful for our many volunteers who worked so hard for each signature we delivered to the Secretary of State's Office and the churches who stood behind us and supported us," Burton continued. "This victory is the voice of the people and all credit goes our Creator." Colorado for Equal Rights is a statewide grassroots organization of concerned citizens who value human life. Colorado for Equal Rights is sponsoring the Human Life Amendment to the Colorado constitution, stating "(t)he term 'Person' or 'Persons' shall include any human from the time of fertilization."

After losses, Republicans fear public has lost confidence in party
Congressman says message deficient

WASHINGTON ­ Republicans must regain the confidence of Americans and recast their message to voters to avoid a catastrophe in the fall congressional elections, top GOP officials said Wednesday in a stark postmortem of a loss in rural Mississippi.

Rep. Tom Cole of Oklahoma, who runs the committee in charge of helping elect Republicans to Congress, said Tuesday's defeat in Mississippi ­ after losing GOP seats in other special elections in Illinois and Louisiana ­ was evidence that "a large section of the American people doesn't have confidence in the Republican Party."

"What we've got right now is a deficiency in our message and a loss of confidence by the American people to do what we say we're going to do," Cole said in a conference call with reporters.

He said, "When you lose three of these in a row, you have to get beyond campaign tactics and take a long hard look: Is there something wrong with your product?"

Cole did not elaborate on potential defects, but Democrats had a ready answer.

"The Republican message is 'no, veto, and status quo,' " said Rep. Chris Van Hollen of Maryland, chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.

He said Republicans couldn't win in Mississippi even though they poured $1 million into the race, sent Vice President Cheney to campaign and tried to link Democratic candidate Travis Childers to the controversy over Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama's former pastor.

Obama mentioned Childers' victory in a speech in Michigan. "This is a hard-core Republican seat, and they lost it by 8 points. They did everything they could. They ran ads with my face on it."

In a memo to GOP leaders posted on Politico's website, retiring Rep. Tom Davis, R-Va., offered a blunt verdict: "The Republican brand is in the trash can. … If we were a dog food, they would take us off the shelf."

"This is as bad as it gets for any party," said David Wasserman, House editor of the Cook Political Report, which tracks each race. "I've never seen a more defeated tone." Nevertheless, Wasserman said, his analysis shows the Democrats will pick up far fewer districts than they did in the 2006 election, when they gained 31 seats. He estimates the Democrats will gain five to 10 seats in the fall.

"Democrats won most of the low-hanging fruit in 2006," he said.

Democratic leaders, not surprisingly, have a different view. They hope to capitalize on their winning formula in Mississippi and Louisiana, where their candidates' cultural conservatism played well.

"This clearly is a sign that there is no congressional district that is safe for Republican candidates who are following in the Bush shadow," said Van Hollen, whose committee has $44.3 million on hand, compared with $7.2 million for Cole's National Republican Congressional Committee.

Davis called the atmosphere for House Republicans "the worst since Watergate and is far more toxic than the fall of 2006."

House Republicans met with Cole in the Capitol to sift through the ashes of defeat in Mississippi's 1st District, which became vacant when Republican Roger Wicker was appointed to the Senate to replace retiring Republican Trent Lott. House Minority Leader John Boehner of Ohio called the result "a wake-up call." But there is no consensus on how to fix it.

Former speaker Newt Gingrich has urged House Republicans to come out with a series of dramatic proposals, including a moratorium on congressionally directed spending items known as earmarks. His ideas were not widely embraced.

Boehner is rolling out an "American Families Agenda" this week focusing on national security, tax cuts, balancing the budget and boosting domestic oil production.
